Pretending

Pretend you're not pretending

Pretend it's not a lie

That you look forward to the ending

Even if it means you die


But I'm tired of this fantasy

Of which I can not leave

Sometimes I wonder if they'd care

If anyone would grieve


But I'll be just alright

I have every time

I am the mask that's taped on tight

Because in my world pain's a crime
